Speak to your doctor

Before planning a trip, speak to your doctor or oncologist to ensure they declare you fit to travel. They will also be able to help with any medication you may need and extra supplies in case of any delays while you’re away.

EHIC

If you’re travelling within Europe, always travel with your European Health Insurance Card (EHIC), which you can get for free through the NHS website. This will entitle you to free or low cost treatment that a national of the country you are in would receive. It’s not an alternative to travel insurance though and would not cover you if you needed to be repatriated in an emergency.

Medication

If you are taking certain painkillers, ensure you are allowed to bring them into the country you plan on travelling to. Speak to your doctor about this if you’re concerned.

Flying

Flying shouldn’t be an issue if your doctor has declared you fit to travel, however, for your own comfort there may be afew things you want to think about before you fly.

Priority boarding is a good idea to avoid the crowds when boarding the plane. You may also choose to book an aisle seat for extra space and comfort.

Be sure to ask for assistance at the airport if you feel the journey might leave you tired. By asking for help, you’ll be able to take full advantage of the airport’s porters who can carry your luggage and drive you to the gate.

Choosing your destination

When choosing a destination to visit, it’s important to think about the journey itself and how far you may have to travel. Travelling long haul can be exhausting for those without medical conditions so it’s important to consider this carefully. There are some gorgeous locations just a few hours away so don’t rule these out!

Relax and enjoy!

Being organised and more prepared before you travel can mean a stress free holiday enabling you to fully enjoy your time away.

Avoid tap water while you’re abroad as there’s a risk this could make you poorly. Have a bottle of water with you throughout the day to ensure you’re fully hydrated, especially if you’re visiting a warmer country.

If you’ve recently had chemotherapy or radiotherapy, you may be more sensitive to climate change. Make sure you take extra care in the sun! You might want to use an SPF of 30+ and avoid the sun throughout its hottest period between 11am and 3pm.
